摘要:

由于灰尘吸收,螺旋盘的不透明度影响我们在紫外和光学中对其进行的每次测量。两种独立的技术直接测量尘埃盘中的总吸收:校准的遥远星系计数和重叠星系对。到目前为止,这两个主要结果是一个半透明的磁盘与更多的不透明武器,和表面亮度和磁盘不透明度之间的关系。在斯皮策时代,螺旋盘的SED模型为尘埃在螺旋盘中的作用提供了新的视角。结合星系计数的整体不透明度,它们产生了一个典型的ISM尘埃云的光学厚度:0.4,这意味着大约60 pc的大小。星系计数的工作目前正在进行中的ACS领域的M51,M101和M81。掩星星系提供了从更高的红移对探测盘不透明度历史的可能性。光盘不透明度的演变可能会影响距离测量(SN 1a,塔利-费舍尔关系)。在这里,我们提出的第一个结果,从光谱选择掩星对的SDSS。这个样本的红移范围是有限的,但确实提供了第一次深入了解磁盘不透明度的演变,以及更高的红移测量的参考。

英文摘要:

The opacity of a spiral disk due to dust absorption influences every measurement we make of it in the UV and optical. Two separate techniques directly measure the total absorption by dust in the disk: calibrated distant galaxy counts and overlapping galaxy pairs. The main results from both so far are a semi-transparent disk with more opaque arms, and a relation between surface brightness and disk opacity. In the Spitzer era, SED models of spiral disks add a new perspective on the role of dust in spiral disks. Combined with the overall opacity from galaxy counts, they yield a typical optical depth of the dusty ISM clouds: 0.4 that implies a size of ~60 pc. Work on galaxy counts is currently ongoing on the ACS fields of M51, M101 and M81. Occulting galaxies offer the possibility of probing the history of disk opacity from higher redshift pairs. Evolution in disk opacity could influence distance measurements (SN1a, Tully-Fisher relation). Here, we present first results from spectroscopically selected occulting pairs in the SDSS. The redshift range for this sample is limited, but does offer a first insight into disk opacity evolution as well as a reference for higher redshift measurements.
